any container or part that comes in
contact with the UREA must be compatible
with it (plastic or stainless steel). Materials
such as copper, brass, aluminium, iron
or stainless steel is not as susceptible to
corrosion by UREA are to be avoided;
if UREA is spilled from a container,
completely clean the area.
METHANE ENGINES
(NATURAL POWER)
METHANE GAS FILLER
The methane filler is located near the
petrol filler. It is equipped with a
"non-return" valve: the non-return valve
is inserted in the filler itself and prevents
the methane from flowing back
towards the filler.
To access the filler, unscrew the cap A
fig. 118.
The profile of the filler is of the universal
type, compatible with Italian and NGV1
standards.
In some European countries adapters
are considered ILLEGAL (e.g. in
Germany).
For service stations with cubic metre
(m3) nozzles (pressure differential),
to measure the residual pressure in the
cylinder, the non-return valves must
be released by delivering a small
amount of methane.The other plates (provided with the
vehicle documentation) contain the date
for the first inspection of the cylinders.

BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine by
pushing, towing or driving downhill.
This could cause fuel to flow into the
catalytic converter and damage it
beyond repair.
WARNING
167)This starting procedure must be
performed by expert personnel because
incorrect actions could cause electrical
discharge of considerable intensity.
Furthermore, battery fluid is poisonous and
corrosive: avoid contact with skin and
eyes. Keep naked flames and lighted
cigarettes away from the battery and do
not cause sparks.
RECHARGING THE
BATTERY
IMPORTANT The battery recharging
procedure is given as information only.
To carry out this operation contact a
Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT After setting the ignition
device to STOP and having closed the
driver side door, wait at least one
minute before disconnecting the
electrical supply from the battery. When
reconnecting the electrical supply to
the battery, make sure that the ignition
device is in the STOP position and
the driver side door is closed.
IMPORTANT Charging should be slow
at a low ampere rating for
approximately 24 hours. Charging for a
longer time may damage the battery.IMPORTANT The cables of the
electrical system must be correctly
reconnected to the battery, i.e. the
positive cable (+) to the positive
terminal and the negative cable (–) to
the negative terminal. The battery
terminals are marked with the positive
(+) and negative (–) symbols, and are
shown on the battery cover. The battery
terminals must also be corrosion-free
and firmly secured to the terminals. If a
"quick-type" battery charger is used
with the battery fitted on the car,
disconnect both battery leads before
connecting it. Do not use a "quick-type"
battery charger to provide the starting
voltage.
168) 169)
VERSIONS WITHOUT
START&STOP SYSTEM
To recharge, proceed as follows:
disconnect the terminal from the
negative battery pole;
connect the charger cables to the
battery terminals, observing the polarity;
turn on the battery charger;
when it is recharged, turn the
charger off before disconnecting it from
the battery;
reconnect the terminal to the
negative battery pole.
